CASTOR I A For Iafenti had Children. lis KM Yon Have Always BsusM the glgnturof MAKES THRUST AT PRESIDENT Tillman Still Remain In Limelight of Pubcliclty. Senator Tillman has been the cen tral figure In the senate during this session of congress. He was recent ly greeted with applause when he en tered the senate chamber to deliver an address in his own defense. Following is a portion of the speech, which, owing to his 111 health he read, with little attempt at ora torical effect: "It has been expected and desired,' he said, "that having made my own defense I should direct my batteries on my assailant I do not think my strength sufficient for the double task for my physicians have warned me against exerting myself. One of the best and truest sentiments in Eng lish literature Is this from Tennyson: Soiling another will never make ones self clean. The president lives In a glass house with even a glass floor In it, and he should remember tne old adage. He has averted all the power of the government to destroy me, but I feel that I stand unscathed because, if all these arguments were to convince men of character, the rec titude and fullness and honesty which have built in the 61 years of my life would at least be my bulwark. "Men who have always been clean and honest do not suddenly become liars and hypocrites at 61 without any necessity. "Later it is niy purpose to devote some time to bringing Theodore Roosevelt face to face with his true self and let the people of the United States see wha' character of a man they have so bowed down to. For the present I content myself with ap plying to him this quotation from Spencer's 'Fsiry Queen': 'He ranges throughout the whole world, neither ts there any that can restrain him.' "Of late he has grown especially presumptuous and pestilent, barking at and biting all alike, whether they are blameworthy or innocent. None are free from his attacks. He spares neither the learned wit nor the gen tle poet, but rends and tears without regard to person, reason or time." Organize Fruitgrowers Union. A Linn county Fruit Growers Un ion will be organized in Albany this week, says a special to a Portland paper recently. It is expected that the organization will be effected Fri day when a Mg convention of the Linn County Horticultural Society is scheduled to take place.

The convention will be held at the Courthouse and sessions will be held both forenoon and afternoon. Among the speakers will be Wilbur K.
